Peanut-Sesame Soba Noodles + Weekly Menu

Mr. Prevention has been asking me to take the Michigan Boater’s Exam online for MONTHS. Yeah, I’m finally doing that…in between making my weekly menu and writing my blog post.

Speaking of the blog – it turned SIX on the 8th of this month. I completely forgot my blog birthday…but six glorious years of blogging and over 1,650 blog posts. Craaaazy.

Speaking of birthdays, my 30th is coming up quickly and my best friend came with a gift when she visited this weekend. She said, “Yeah, so this is your birthday present…and your Christmas present. Happy Birthday and Merry Christmas!”

So after discussing how much we love our Le Creuset, we talked about recipes we’ve made recently and loved. Kristen had made some olive-y roasted chicken and a feta dip and I boasted about this Soba noodle recipe.

Knowing Mr. P is on the fence about cabbage, I reduced the amount of cabbage and made noodles the star of the dish. That switch also made this dish 8-month-old-approved. Quick, easy, and packed with flavor. Enjoy!

Bring a large pot of water to boil and cook the noodles according to package directions. Drain and set aside.

Meanwhile, prepare dressing in a small bowl by whisking together the dressing ingredients until smooth.

In a large serving bowl, combine the cooked soba noodles, shredded cabbage, grated carrots, and chopped green onions. Pour dressing over the vegetables and toss to coat. Serve slaw with chopped peanuts, cilantro, and a squeeze of lime.

This recipe looks amazing and will be perfect for both my husband who will enjoy it with the salmon and for me, I just eat it ‘as is’. I’m a lover of anything peanut butter, so this one gets a big tick. Now I go and see if you have any other peanut butter recipes….
